Discreet 24/7 Biohazard Remediation in Fox Point, WI

Fox Point is a village in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, on the western shore of Lake Michigan, and is one of the North Shore suburbs of Milwaukee.

The village takes its name from a point of land at present-day Doctors Park that surveyors thought resembled a fox's snout jutting into Lake Michigan; it was originally called 'Foxes Point.'

The land was opened to settlement after the Potawatomi signed the 1833 Treaty of Chicago, and Dutch families began arriving in the mid-1840s — John Cappon built the first Dutch settler's cabin in Fox Point in 1846.

In 1898 the Fox Point Club opened in the community — it was only the second golf course in the state of Wisconsin.

Fox Point incorporated as a village in 1926 because its increasingly wealthy residents wanted municipal services such as electricity, running water and sewers that the rural Town of Milwaukee did not provide.

Doctors Park, the village's Lake Michigan shoreline park, opened in 1930 and was transferred to the Milwaukee County parks system in 1937.

Fox Point boomed after World War II, growing nearly seven-fold from 1,180 people in 1940 to 7,939 in 1970.

The 2020 census counted 6,934 people in Fox Point, packed into just 2.86 square miles; the 2010 census recorded 2,747 households in the village.

Fox Point is the only village in Wisconsin with a Moody's Aaa credit rating, a distinction it has held for six consecutive years.

The village contains the Albert and Edith Adelman House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and the Mary Nohl Art Environment, a nationally recognized folk-art site, both listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
